The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Spain, 7
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Latvia, Australia and Philippines
Countries receiving points from most juries / United Kingdom, 20
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Andorra in 3rd with 10 points from Peru as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / South Korea in 21st getting 12 points from China
Through out the jury voting 6 different countries held the lead: Denmark, Spain, Australia, Indonesia, United Kingdom and Greece with the latter holding it for far the longest. When all jury votes had been counted it was, however, United Kingdom who had collected the most points. Still, it was a very close race with only 14 points seperating the top 10. Spain was in second place followed by Ukraine, Denmark and Greece. It was now up to the televote to decide, who would triumph. The clear favourite with the public was Ukraine. Andorra ranked second (9th with the juries) ahead of Spain, South Korea (25th) and North Macedonia (12th). In the end, it seems that the plublic had the power, as Ukraine jumped ahead to claim victory, leaving the silver to Spain and the bronze to Andorra. United Kingdom and North Macedonia rounded up the top 5.
Ukraine debuted in GM14 and finished a respectable 6th on their second attempt. However, after only 4 participations, they quit and did not return until GM30. Still, they did not become a regular player, because the results weren't all that impressive, and the Head of Delegations constantly changed. When Ukraine finally cracked the top 5 in GM121, they were already on their 14th HoD! The current HoD, Olya, who came onboard in GM169 is the 19th player to head the Ukrainian delegation and already the one with the longest tenure, and she has made Ukraine reach the top 10 five times. This gold medal is the first medal ever for Ukraine after a total of 97 participations, 45 finals and 16 top 10 results. Well done Ukraine, KAZKA and Olya!
